Excellent right out of the bottle despite its age. Aroma of cedar and tobacco. Deep dark berries, blackberry, bing cherry. Rolls off the back of the tongue nicely. This might be the best of Five Star.

Mothers Day. Decanted 2 hours. Always one of our favorites. Scent of a mature rose. Dark cherry homemade jam. Leather. Unfolds in the back of the mouth. It won’t get any better so drink it now.

Popped and poured. Highly aromatic. Silky funk backstopped by raspberries and caramel bacon. 2 hours of decanting: well balanced vibrant composition with a slightly peppered finish. Wish I had a case of this. Plenty of life left.
